“63 % of the companies say that science-based targets drive innovation.” We are attending one of the biggest sustainability events in the Nordics and Baltics, Impact Day in Tallinn. There has been a bunch of interesting cases, and here are few thoughts that we would like share from the first day. 🔹Leader has to have a point of view about the future. Even if it’s not understandable to others at first sight. It’s leader’s job to convince others to get along! 🔹Because there should not be a separate sustainability strategy, sustainability should be also included into management system. 🔹Sustainability reporting or any other part of sustainability work should all be interconnected and based on company’s purpose and values. 🔹Profitable and sustainable business are not opposite sides of a coin. 🔹Activating people into small actions, such as planting trees or activities for the community, can eventually lead people to be interested in innovating new ways to become part of the bigger transition. The first quote is from Lead for Europe at Science Based Targets Initiative, Kim Schoppink, on stage. #sustainability #impactday

🌟 Reflecting on an unforgettable experience as moderator of Sustainability Tribe's recent townhall meeting! 🌍 Words fall short in capturing the sheer energy and brilliance of our discussion on the vital role of youth in shaping a sustainable future. It was more than just a dialogue—it was an electrifying exchange of ideas that left us all inspired and motivated. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to the incredible contributors—Godfred Sowah Khartey, Lawrence Dogli, Bonaventure Folitse, Tobi Alade (MICS), Kafui Adzo Tona-Gaogli, and Young Adika—for their invaluable insights and passion. Together, we delved deep into pressing global issues and emerged with actionable solutions. Now, as we share the fruits of our discussion in the form of a policy brief, I urge you all to join us in spreading the word. Because real change happens when ideas are shared, debated, and embraced by a community committed to making a difference. 🌱 Let's keep the momentum going! Feel free to engage in the comments and share your thoughts. Together, we can turn vision into action and build a brighter, more sustainable world. 💬 #SustainabilityTribe #YouthLeadership #GlobalImpact

I am loving that we at Clear Star are living by our values and supporting such a fantastic event. ESG has played a huge part of our organisation since formation, ensuring we consider it for every decision. Carbon offsetting a lovely conference which helps support shared learning and growth in government seemed like an obvious choice. I believe tickets are still left and I am looking forward to catching up with all the lovely people I have worked with over the last decade in government. Does your company live by its values or put lip service to ESG? #ethics #esg #government #ukgovernment #ukgovcamp #ukgcXL

Thank you Gaia Consulting and Maria Sangder for hosting yesterday’s sustainability panel at The New Spring Garden 🫶🏻 Touko Sipiläinen, Tuuli Kousa, Tomi Hilvo, Anna Storm and Heli Hytönen shared their perspectives, learnings, experiences and knowledge about how sustainability should be embraced in Finland as a way to not only guarantee a liveable future but also to help strengthen the Finnish economy, which has not seen real growth in the past 15 years. Here are some key takeaways: 🌳 We need brave leaders and executives to lead their companies through #susformation and use their personal voice to demand change from key political and societal actors. 🌳 Methods for driving susformation can vary as long as the end goal is shared. 🌳 Susformation in companies cannot be a linear change where processes are changed step-by-step—doing so will guarantee ending up behind the competition. The different areas of sustainability must be developed simultaneously. 🌳 Sustainable business goals should be tied into the incentives of all employees, not just executives. We cannot afford to not have all hands on deck. 🌳 Finland and Finnish companies need to be confident in innovating and owning their genius. We have all the capabilities to take sustainable innovations to the global markets and make waves of change in so many ways.

Join Me! I'm honored to be a speaker at the National Sustainability Conference in September. Here is a sneak peek of my talk - Change is Possible - Leading the Sustainability Revolution To solve the climate crisis  we must develop and deploy people who can lead change - a discipline I’ve dedicated my career to using applied behavioral science.  To close the Implementation Gap we must bring climate solutions to reality faster. We have the financing and know what to do - now we need strong leaders at all levels of society to mobilize and organize people for action.
